Amazing experience here! They are super allergy conscious! When I asked about a gluten free menu they immediately notified me about how they have a separate dedicated fryer and bread options available. Service was great and food/drinks were very good as well. Will definitely be back here!

So many options!! They have two different GF breads (one bun, one local bread), staff was pretty knowledgeable and very careful, and they were even able to bake instead of fry their tater tots so I could eat them. Not to mention, they have multiple GF dessert options! You never see that. Highly recommend! Was so happy eating there.

The staff was very knowledgeable and double checked on some modifications to make sure my meal was both gluten and dairy free. Mixed berry crumble with vegan coconut ice cream was delicious!

We found this restaurant on Find Me GF and we had a good experience! My boyfriend had the cheeseburger and I had a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich. They have gluten free buns and bread and both of our sandwiches were flavorful. We had tater tots which we were assured are not fried with anything else. Our waiter was helpful and asked his head cook all of our questions before allowing us to order our food. The food was quick and tasty! They even had a few gf desserts so we tried them all. We didn’t care for either of the cookies (dry and flavors were odd-pb cookie tasted like pumpkin and the choc chip cookie had coconut in it) but the brownie was very moist and flavorful. My boyfriend is a celiac and he did not have any ill effects after eating here :-)
